		&lt;p&gt;I've blogged earlier about electric cars in "&lt;a href="/Blog.aspx?bloget_mode=view&amp;amp;bloget_item=18dd72fd-0854-41c0-a603-7d2379421129"&gt;The Future is Electric&lt;/a&gt;". I really want one and it looks like there are several technologies coming together that could make this possible. The latest innovation comes from a company in Texas called EEStor that has developed a storage device that can hold enough electricity to drive 500 miles and it only takes 5 minutes to recharge. The &lt;a href="http://money.cnn.com/2006/09/15/technology/disruptors_eestor.biz2/index.htm"&gt;story&lt;/a&gt; first broke on CNN Money.&lt;/p&gt;
		&lt;p&gt;Using something called an Ultra Capacitor, they store a charge without using hazardous chemicals or high pressure tanks. The cost of the engine is slightly more expensive (whatever that means) than a gasoline engine but getting rid of the need for gas more than compensates for the added expense. Could this be the breakthrough we've been waiting for in electrics?&lt;/p&gt;
